PICTURES

pictures of the birthday boy

taking a deep breath

pictures of the moment when

an old man gives a young man a chance

looking back at a life made of photographs

photographs at the dance with the friends you were using

looking out at a world made of photographs 

pictures.

pictures of the swirling nights

you had to carry me home

looking back at a life made of photographs

photographs with the bride with the groom of her choosing

looking out at a world made of photographs. 

pictures

pictures of the nice things we bought

pictures of the human cost

pictures of the real plan

of the hidden hand

of this joyous, glorious, 

broken, promise land

pictures of the birthday boy

taking a deep breath
